Adam Morrison arrived with his gear to the practice court in Charlotte. When he arrived he
was surprised to see his workout partner, Rudy Gay. They started to warm up by jogging.
After that it was game on. They played 1 on 1 in order to show off their skills to the scouts.

This is pretty nifty. I'm wondering, though, does Morrison actually have those tattoos? If he does, I've never noticed.

[Shing]

Cool idea! I'll be following this one!

Unlike these players, Adam had an amazing season at Gonzaga

No he doesn't, but the CPU give it to him.

Dissapointing as in not winning the NCAA Championship

After a disappointing workout with the Charlotte Bobcats, Adam Morrison finds himself in the
Trailblazers practice gym. His workout partner this time is another atheletic forward,
Shawne Williams from the Memphis Tigers. It looks like the scouts want to test Adam's athletism
more than anything.

Notes:
- Absolute dog fight in the beginning 5 minutes of the game

- Adam Morrison got 3 steals
- Shawne Williams jump shot wasn't present
- Shawne Williams defence is mediocore but still capable to improve
- Adam out rebounded Shawne 9-3
- Adam shot 11 for 14

Adam Morrison had a good workout with the Blazers, but now he his to prove himself to the Magics.
His workout partner is no other than Ronnie Brewer from Arkansas. Adam finally gets a non-athletic gaurd
to workout with. It looks like the Magics are testing Adams offence and rebounding.

BREAKING NEWS



During the 1 on 1 game, Ronnie Brewer went on a hard drive to the basket and knocked Adam
down to the floor. Adam landed pretty hard on his back and didn't continue and it looks like
a serious injury.

June 7, 2006

After some tests at the hospital, it looks like the injury wasn't that serious
and nothing was broken. Adam Morrison is just suffering from lower back
pains and should be alright and ready to go after a week of rest. Adam
and his agent discussed and came to an agreement that he won't continue
with any of the upcoming workouts. What this means is other teams won't
be able to see first hand what Adam has to offer and may hurt his stock.

"It's kind of disappointing getting injuried at a workout, but what can you
do. I don't want to further injure myself so sitting out is my only choice.
I think I can still go top 5 at the 06 Draft, but I doubt I can go #1 now."

[Unrestrict3D]

Ronnie Brewer is my favorite player from this year's draft. I'd get him, but that's just me.

[Demonater]

The Rookie Draft will take place today (June 15. 2006) at 8PM EST. I will update every pick at a 5-10 min interval. TUNE IN

[hammertime23]

I'm tuned in. Is this a dynasty? If it is what team are you and what if Adam Morrison is already taken.

I'm tuned in. Is this a dynasty? If it is what team are you and what if Adam Morrison is already taken.

This dynasty revolves around Adam Morrison not a team. So who ever drafts him is the team Im going to switch to.

[Demonater]

Welcome to the annual NBA Rookie Draft 06. I'm David Stern the
commissioner of the NBA.This is where dreams are made and where the
kids become men. We have names from Rudy Gay to the highflying
James White. The draft will begin shortly.

Round 1

1. - Rudy Gay

This is a very good pick by the Bobcats. Rudy Gay has all the tools to be
a Pippen-type player. He is highly athletic and plays above the rim.
He is the best Small Forward in the draft and he'll be an amazing
compliment to Emeka Okafor, also another UCONN player.

2. - LaMarcus Aldridge

The Wizards were hoping Gay would fall to them, but it he didn't so instead
they went big and are hoping that Aldridge can play Centre. Aldridge is
an athletic big man. He has a good mid-range shot, and take also take it
to the basket. He still needs to gain weight and bulk up if he wants to be
a dominating force in the paint.

3. - Marcus Williams

This is a very surprising pick by the Knicks. The knicks already have 2
all-star calibur point gaurds. Why would you pick up a 3rd? Anyways,
Marcus is a solid point gaurd with good court vision. He is also quick on
his feet. The Knicks would've been better off with Tyrus Thomas or
Adam Morrison.

4. - Brandon Roy

It looks like Adam Morrisons injury was more serious than it was said to
be and the Chicago Bulls didn't want any part of it and took the next
best thing, a no non-sense shooter. It's confusing pick by the Bulls who
already have a proven shooter in Ben Gordon, but I guess you can't go
wrong with Roy. He is good overall player, but doesn't excel in any
specific areas. Will be a good pro.

5. - Alexander Johnson

Alexsander's stock skyrocketed at the workouts, but #5 is way to high
for him. Alexander has good rebounding mechanics and can grab the ball
from the air with ez. On offence he has basic post moves and a good
hook shot, but he has trouble concentrating and focusing on the game.
Some nights he can be a rebounding machine, the next night, he'll be
riding the pine because of his dumb decisions.

6. - Tyrus Thomas

Bryan Colangelo took advantage of the mistakes of the other GMs and
picked a stat filling machine in Tyrus Thomas. He is still raw and probably
won't make much of an impact this season, but watch out for his name
in later years, he can easily be a smaller version of Ben Wallace with
some offence.

7. - Andrea Bargnani

The Hornets are gambling by picking "the Magician" from Italy. Andrea
is good shooter and is quick. He is still not big enough to gaurd the
big men of the NBA. Can he live up to the hype and become the next
Dirk? or is he just another European pine rider?

8. - Randy Foye

Another surprising pick, it was almost certain that they would pick
Adam Morrison, but they threw a curve ball and picked a combo guard
in Randy Foye. This adds versatility to the Portland backcourt. Randy is
good scorer and can also dish it out to his teammates.

9. - Adam Morrison

A team finally picked up Adam Morrison. He is instant offence and a great
competitor, but Adam has some injury problems. He has a bad back and
is a diabetic patient. He is the perfect pick for the Magics, they fill their
SG/SF postion and get a good shooter.

10. - Jordan Farmer

A good pick by the Celtics. They needed a good back-up point gaurd and
Jordan Farmer is there man. Jordan is a good distributing point gaurd and
has good court awareness. He might be too small to gaurd the stronger
point gaurds in the league.

11. - J.J. Redick

Another good pick. The Kings got a proven shooter in J.J. Redick. He can
shoot lights out from anywhere on the court, but he is short for the SG
position but doesn't have the skills to play PG. He is also not quick enough
to play defence on the more athletic guards. Can he prove his critics
wrong and be an impact in the NBA?

12. - Marcus Vinicius

A very strange pick by the Suns. Marcus looks like a perfect fit for the
Suns. He can shot over anyone and has good fundamentals. He lacks
defence and penetrating skills. The Suns should've added size to their
team by drafting Patrick O'Bryant, but Marcus could add more deph to
their offensive team.

13. - Saer Sene

A good pick by the Wolves. Saer is physical specimen with his
combination of size, length, strength, athleticism and mobility. He is an
amazing shot blocker and rebounder. He lacks any type of offence. He is
still a student of the game and has a lot to learn. Saer is still a project,
but you can't go wrong with this big man.

14. - Ronnie Brewer

Ronnie is a good all around player. He can pass, rebound, and score.
The Lakers can use his skills. The Lakers looks like they are going to use
Ronnie as a point gaurd since he has great court vision and is selfless on
the court. A good compliment to Kobe Bryant.

[Donatello]

This is awesome. I'm watching.

edit:

Knicks have Marbury, Francis, Robinson, and now Williams. Ridiculous.

[c0nr4d]

lol...nice idea

[JoshD]

This is a very cool idea, i think Morrison should be a lottery pick top 15

[z50bo]

This is great good job man

EDIT: STUPID PICK BY NEW YORK

[c0nr4d]

yea...damn Isiah makes another bad move in NY

and yea Roy is a bad pick for Chitown too

c'mon Adam! Where u at?!?:D

[JoshD]

Hornets taking a big chance on Andrea Bargnani, but i like the next three picks, Foye, Morrison finally*, and Farmer.

So this means you will be the Magic and center the dynasty around Morrison

[hammertime23]

Have fun with the Magic. I can already smell a breakout season.

[Demonater]

Well yes and no. Im going to do a Magics dynasty but it won't fully revolve around Morrison.

[JoshD]

Oh ok, that still souns cool.

Lakers pick Ronnie Brewer he could be great there as a PG, with Kobe to pass to, and if they double Kobe he can score

[hammertime23]

Rajon Rondo at Utah will be very good for him. I think him and Morrison will be a great game when they play. Also is this an 82 game dynasty?
